A Kernel With Everything

[gjarboni]

does anyone still have a copy of this kernel and the modules, i've tried to download it a few times and it looks like the files aren't up anymore.
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The files are still at:

[a href=\"ftp://www.rtgx.com/pub/c3000-bigkernel/]ftp://www.rtgx.com/pub/c3000-bigkernel/[/url]

I just tested it with IE 6 (under Windows XP) and command line ftp (NetBSD). However, there is a long delay (maybe 90 seconds) when you first connect to the ftp server. Maybe it's throwing off your ftp client? I'm sure the delay is caused by some sort of DNS lookup, but I haven't had the time to track it down.

I get a 'Error 425 - Can't open data connection' on Mandrake 10/Mozilla.
NCFTP on the commandline works, but notes "Connect Failed: Connection Refused. Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode."

Your FTP server doesn't support or has turned off passive mode, maybe?

Thank-you thank-you thank-you

A very happy,

I confirm the problems with getting into the FTP site...any hopes of getting it off HTTP or any other system?
thanks!

I've increased the size allowed on file uploads to be 5MB, so if someone has the files/ just upload them to this post so they will forever be here.

Does WPA wifi work with this by chance?

Thanks

Actually, you can download it, but you need to use a proper ftp client. It does not allow you to download through a browser.

I can upload the file if required.

that would be good, still havig problems even with an ftp client

here it is

you will need to rename updater.sh.txt to updater.sh and zImage.txt to zImage (the forum did not let me upload those files with their original names and it had to tell me after the upload  it should had just checked it before uploading instead of doing it afterwards

Unfortunately after installing this kernel update the SD card no longer appears to be auto-mounted by the Zaurus when it is inserted. I followed these steps when installing the update:

1). Downloaded and transferred zImage and updater.sh to an empty SD card.
2). Downloaded 2.4.20.modules.tar.gz; gunzipp'ed and extracted the tar file to /hdd2/
3). Created symlink (as root) with following commands

Code: [Select]

cd /home/root
mv modules modules.orig
ln -s /hdd2/modules modules4). Ran

Code: [Select]

ls /lib/modules/Shell echo'ed desired result: 2.4.20 .
5). Rebooted my 3000, ran kernel updater from SD card. Rebooted again.

After rebooting noticed that I was unable to access SD card (it was not being auto-mounted); no SD icon/applet in application bar.

6). After viewing m-morino's post, perfomed

Code: [Select]

$ su
# bash
bash-2.05 # ln -s /lib/modules{.rom,}/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o
Recieved error message

Code: [Select]

ln: /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o: No such file or directory
Re-ran as

Code: [Select]

bash-2.05 # ln -s /lib/modules.rom/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.odid not recieve an error message.

7). Ran

Code: [Select]

depmod -a
Depmod echo'ed the following:

Code: [Select]

depmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.ieee1394map is not an ELF file
depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.pnpbiosmap
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/media/radio/miropcm20.o
At this point the Zaurus is still unable to automount the SD card. I have not attempted to manually mount the card. Any suggestions you have are welcome. Step by step instructions for resolving this issue via the shell are appreciated.

Edit: After installing this update I am also no longer able to connect the 3000 via USB to an NT 5.1 based machine and have it be recognised when using PC Link in Storage mode. Tested my CF devices (modem and 10/100 ethernet card) and both appear to be detected properly.

I've noticed this too, but I haven't had time to track it down. I'm assuming that the original modules directory contains a module that does both the SD card and for acting as a USB HD (for storage mode). If you can find the modules, you can copy them from the old directory to the new and run depmod again (and that should fix things).

Is this kernel sufficiently similar to the Sharp kernel that these modules would
work with the Sharp kernel?

Is there a .config file for this kernel?

[daemon1]

I'll post the kernel and modules tonight (gotta run to get ready for my Superbowl party).

Okay, the Superbowl is over (and was fun to watch!). I've uploaded the kernel and a gzipped tar of the modules to:

ftp://www.rtgx.com/pub/c3000-bigkernel. There are three files:

zImage (the kernel)
updater.sh (the script that installs a new kernel -- it's in Japanese)
2.4.20.modules.tar.gz

For instructions on how to install a new kernel, please go to: http://www.steyla.com/zaurus/kernel.php3.

This great site has easy to follow instructions on how to compile and install your own kernel. To install the modules, download the tar file, unzip it and unpack it in the root of hdd2:

wget ftp://www.rtgx.com/pub/c3000-bigkernel/2.4.20.modules.tar.gz
cd /hdd2
gunzip 2.4.20.modules.tar.gz
tar -xvf 2.4.20.modules.tar.gz

This will create a modules directory under /hdd2. Now, we need to change a symlink to point to this directory (rather than the directory in /home/root/modules).

cd /home/root
mv modules modules.orig
ln -s /hdd2/modules modules

Now to check that everything works, list the contents of /lib/modules

ls /lib/modules/

You should see one entry:

2.4.20

Now I've included all the patches from tetsu.homelinux.org. The only feature that that site that might not work is the overclocking (I'm not sure that the overclocking patch took). If someone could test that out (check out this thread for details) that would be great.

Hey gjarboni,

the patching that you've done is it the same as tetsu's v18a kernel for c3000 ?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=82188\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes, the modules would definitely work -- the prism modules were copied over and they work fine. I started from the Sharp source and added Tetsu's patches.

I'm attaching two versions of the config file. dotconfig.txt which has DOS linefeeds and dotconfig-without-doslinefeeds.txt which doesn't.
